Hey guys, I'm sorry I didn't actually need help. I got it taken care of. Just poking some fun at Adobe, and realize that in the future if we just have the cloud apps, or even on the App sore, there is no chance of opening up in an older version because the old version wouldn't exist!

Fair enough -- it is a silly error message!

Older versions will still exist with Creative Cloud. Contrary to the name, the software still installs and runs locally on your desktop, and when a new update is available, you decide when to install it.

CC is actually a bit of a step forward here, because it lets you step back.

Do Creative Cloud members have access to previous versions of Creative Cloud apps?
Yes. Creative Cloud paid members have access to a select set of archived versions of the desktop apps. Starting with CS6, select versions of each of the desktop creative apps will be archived and available for download. Archived versions are provided "as is" and are not updated to work with the latest hardware and software platforms.

This wouldn't have helped you with the AE v6.5 problem, but it will be the first time you could still get older versions of the software from Adobe after a newer one is released.
